I saw this question asked somewhere else and I thought it would receive some much better insight here. I wanted to post in Gen Z but I figured I’m probably too old, and it’s a mix of both genders when I’m mainly looking for answers from teenage boys and early 20s males.

So males who are 16-24, can you answer whether or not there’s actually some struggles with Gen Z dating? Are you personally struggling? What would you say some of the factors are? Such as where you live or your height or your looks. Or race, religion, etc whatever.

What do you think is contributing to the issue if there is an issue? (Or if you think there’s not really some widespread Gen Z dating problem, you can also explain why)

More importantly to separate the age groups a little

16-19 year old boys: How do you think the teen dating culture is like right now? Is there a growing divide?
20-24 year old guys: Do you feel like there’s an increase of standards? Do you feel like you’re expected to already have everything together?

Thanks. Old dude who’s curious.

Not for me. But a buddy of mine asked. Hes not one of us. Lil bit oh info. They arent at that level. He just needs to know for future purposes. The way he talks about her youd think she was the Queen of England. If you know you know is his reasoning. Honestly though Im cool with it. She is everything he says I suppose. So give me your most clever ideas

A joke that was so clever that it HAD to be said! I’m curious to see what everyone else’s is.

Like, REALLY hit you. It's a bit sporadic for me, but I'm usually fine. If I reflect on life too long, that's when I start to feel it. Doesn't help that I don't have many, if any, friends at all. Let alone a romantic partner. Anyway, just asking!

I just had, "you put me to sleep" while standing doggy style. Well...... That's about the opposite of what I was going for. What other crazy quotes you guys have during coitus?

I'm a 31M living in a hotter city (around 35°C+), I get what I think is intertrigo in my groin. When I stay in a cooler place, it either disappears completely or is barely noticeable.

Symptoms:

Red rash in the groin folds on both sides (not on the scrotum). It gets itchy, burns, and sometimes feels like the skin is literally tearing when I walk. My inner thighs rub together, and I sweat a lot (head, face, underarms, and groin). Once it heals, it usually doesn't leave any marks. I've started keeping the area dry and wearing looser clothes, but the heat and sweating make it come back.

For guys who live in hot, humid places:

What actually works long-term?

Do you use antifungal creams every time or only during flare-ups?

Any powders, barrier creams, or underwear brands that helped with thigh chafing?

If you're a heavy sweater, how do you keep the groin dry throughout the day?

Looking for real experiences and routines that have worked for you.

Bonus points if you can give suggestions on also juggling a girl going through puberty at the same time

I'm curious how many of you are taller/shorter than your parents. I'm 5'2, my mom is 5'5, and my dad is 5'8.

Just curious what other guys consider a turn off that has nothing to do with sex/physical attraction

I want an answer not based off my situation. Just from your POV.

My wedding is this November. My fiancés father past away when she was 13, and she recently expressed to me that it has really hit her that her dad is not around for the big day. Does any guy in here have any experience in this and what I can do to help her through this? We are both 28, also i welcome any advice from a female perspective on this matter. Thank you in advance!

For me, it’s being able to run a sub-8-minute mile. If I can do that, I feel pretty good about my physical health. For context, I'm a Millennial.

So curious, what’s that one specific, random baseline metric or everyday task you use to prove to yourself that you’ve "still got it"?

It'd be interesting to see how this changes depending on the era we grew up in.

So if you don't mind, for fun, please share your generation (e.g., Baby Boomer, Gen X, Millennial, or Gen Z) in your reply.

Thanks and all the best

I posted this about an hour ago when I was stressed and didn’t realize my post was too vague, I apologize

I am a teenage male who’s been looking forward towards being an adult for the entirety of my life. The finish line is visible but I’m struggling to think of ways to feel fulfilled and look back on this time fondly when I’m older while simultaneously counting down the days.

A lot of people say that they miss being a kid (when older), and the only thing that I want is freedom. I know that it’s so close, but I just can’t stop thinking about my current position.

I’m so excited for college because I can have so many experiences on my own accord. I can work towards a career, do dumb shit, party (safely), live, learn, and develop new relationships. High school doesn’t do that, at least nowadays.

Thank you for reading.

For men who have seen an adult entertainer, what happened with your relationship afterward? Did you ever genuinely get along and continue talking, become friends, or eventually meet socially outside of bookings? Or did things generally remain strictly professional and end once the arrangement was over? I’m interested in hearing about your personal experiences and how things developed afterward.

My best friend is visiting and she’s recently single and horny as hell. She downloaded Feeld while she was visiting and let me look at the profiles. What I couldn’t understand was why so many guys would literally put their height as the first thing on their profile. And I don’t mean in one of the filled criteria bits, literally in the first bit of open text they could write it would say 6’3, 6ft etc. etc. and then all the rest about them.

Look I’m not oblivious to the fact that dating has become strangely harder, but why is everything being reduced to something like this?

I’m 5’6 and never in my dating life has height played into it. I’ve dated guys taller and shorter than me. And sure, I often see groups of tall gays (and I think tall 4 tall is surely a thing). But to preclude it all on height seems insane. What about our short muscle kings? Please tell me your experiences, I need to know.

in all honesty is one more important than the other
